If everything remains constant then the radiation balance of the planet would stay constant. However, when you add CO2 to the atmosphere you get less IR radiation being returned to space and the planet gets warmer. This has been empirically measured and confirmed by satellite data over the last 50 years as well as all the temperature proxies we have here on Earth. The change in climate at specific locations on the Earth is going to be very chaotic, often hard to predict but the overall temperature average of the whole planet is increasing.
It's still just basic physics.
